| Quote ="Bull Mania"I don't think winning a pre season friendly does a huge amount for confidence. In all honesty you probably learn more from losses than just steam rolling a part time team. The two hit outs against Cas and Leeds will hav done us good. Cas, we were dominating until the rolling subs started. Leeds, we had to learn how to cope with the pace of a top 4 super league side which we didn't do too badly considering we have a lot of new players. That helps a team much more than spanking Keighley by 50+ as our big guys run through them.'"
Thats why we learned more from beating a Wigan missing 2 players the fortnight before Keighley

| Quote ="broadybull87"For all the great and good who are heading over to leigh (i live in atherton), there is parking at the LSV but it gets full quick, i dont beleive you are allowed to park on the Morrisons car park or the retail park at the juntion, and also the estate gets full and can be a bottleneck.
If you are taking the M62-M60-M61 and passing through atherton i would park in atherton and get the bus into Leigh or park along the 582 bus route [urlhttp://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/greater_manchester/journey_planning/[/url
Or you make your way along the A580 from the M60 which pretty much goes right to the LSV, plenty or pubs in either leigh or atherton, which all serve food as far as i know, also there is a pub right next to the LSV which does nice food.'"
No issues with parking on Parsonage retail park, park on it and walk over the bridge (5 mins).

Didn't actually know Leigh played Keighley. They were just a championship team I plucked out of thin air to use as an example (usually because we play them in pre-season)

| It sounds like we should be taking a decent following over to Leigh. Supporters coaches are currently at 3, The Top house pub is taking 3 full coaches and i believe there is another pub taking a coach. Whilst buying tickets today, we were up to 700 already purchased so i'd expect at least 1000 going over. How many does the South Stand at Leigh hold?

| Quote ="Bullseye"Cheers glow.
Now another important question. Where's the nearest pub selling a pint of decent real ale and can I get a decent pie in the ground?'" Hi Bullseye, come and have a drink with us in the town centre plenty of real ale pubs, we go in the George an Dragon next to the bus station, real ale from £1.69 a pint and you would be made welcome by us Leythers, no children aloud in this pub though and don't serve meals but plenty of pubs around that area that do sell food. Hope to see some of you on the day and have a safe journey.

| Park in town centre 10 min walk to ground or about 1000 free spots around the stadium, parsonage retail is close to leigh miners who also have a car park
Personally recommend the Britannia pub on St. Helens rd 5 min to ground, good ales and friendly
Safe journey

| Great to see the welcoming messages on this forum from the Leigh fans. So nice after two years of bile from other super league clubs forum members who seemed to want to hang draw and quarter us as a result of our problems. One question though - what the hell is lobby!!

| Not a pearl barley fan. It's got a funny texture - like sugar puffs. The rest of the ingredients sound alright tho.

| Quote ="Bullseye"I agree with M@islebugs in that Addy can cover dummy half if O’Brien needs a breather. I don’t think Halafihi or Conroy are ready just yet and we looked much more organised with O’Brien on the field.
I’d still be tempted to pick Lauaki on the bench as he can bust a tackle and provide impact after the first 20mins. We’re going to need our most experienced front row on the field for the first 20mins as I expect Leigh to fly out of the blocks. Composure will be the key, we need to be patient, take our chances and not throw miracle passes like we did at Leeds.
Some positions pick themselves like Mullaney at fullback and the halfbacks. Same with the starting front row. I’m not sure what the state of our injuries are but I’d like to think that the likes of Uaisele, Baille, Addy and Ferguson will be back. Would like to see Fleming back too. I’d go with the following:
Mullaney
Uaisele
Purtell
Baille
Williams
Gaskell
Siejka
Sidlow
O’Brien
Clough
Pitts
Ferguson
Walker
Addy
Davies
Lauaki
Walshaw/Olbison
I notice that Rowley is in the League Express today and in his interview he’s really keen to talk us up as favourites. Not sure anyone seriously believes any of that. Leigh, at home with a settled side, having had a good pre season, gone almost unbeaten last year. Us with heaps of new players, many totally untested. Hmmmmm don’t think so.
If we do win it’ll be by no more than 2pts and I can easily see us getting turned over, especially if we let Leigh get a roll on. I think the match has come a bit early for us whereas it couldn’t come at a better time for Leigh. However it’s all such an unknown. I’m really looking forward to it. There’s a bunch of us going.'"
How do you pronounce Uaisele and Siejka? I've taken a kind of break from all things Bulls for the last few months, a detox after the depression of the last few years. No idea who the new players are. Just hoping they've got big letters on their jerseys on Sunday.

Every year there’s a 500 page debate as to whether real Lobby should have carrots in it, don’t you go bringing your swede and barley stuff to the table.

Uaisele is like "Wasail", so each time he scores you down a pint of cider.
Siejka is "seeker" or "syker", so he'll either be invisible or be as good as Paul Sykes.
And Tahraoui is "tarrawee", or "tarraweeeeeeeeee" if you're on a slide.

| Really looking forward to this game, should be a fantastic atmosphere and a real top quality game, whoever wins this will get a real momentum boost. Really lookingforward to seeing the LSV full & loud.
Quote ="Bull Mania" Negatives - ... Last year they seemed to win at a canter, the challenge for them is how they react when things aren't all going their way. Can their main players who were great last year, step up when the pressure is really on? Scoring 4 tries when you're hammering Barrow, is different of coming up with the right play when it's 18-18 with 5 minutes left. '"
That's not entirely true, quite a few games last season were very close, Keighley away, both Halifax games, the Dewsbury games spring to mind but there were a few others) we know how to grind out a win in close tight games, that's probably the main reason why we did win so many last season.
As for pubs starting on the opposite side of town you've got, Thomas Burke (Whetherspoons), White Lion (Allgates), Boar's Head (Moorhouses), George & Dragon & The Goose (On either side of the bus station, selling cask ale), Across Leigh Bridge The Centurion (rugby pub) & The Britannia (Neither with cask ale though unfortunately); there’s Leigh Miners ARLFC just across the canal from the LSV site and Leigh East ARLFC (sometimes they both have 1 cask ale if you're very lucky but not often), Whistling Wren (Marstons) & in the ground The Legends Bar (though no cask ale oes have pre-match entertainment, usually a quiz, interviews with past players & players not playing, really good atmosphere).
Quote ="BeechwoodBull"what the hell is lobby!!'"
DON'T ASK THAT! Your forum is going to become hijacked with 8 pages of arguments about Carrots now.

| I think Leigh will win, a settled team and home advantage. Even though I can think of a dozen reasons why we could win I've seen the team fall flat on their face enough times over the last few seasons to know I'll probably end up disappointed. I'll wait to see the 19-man squad announced before I let myself feel at all confident, so many new players I don't know who is any good or who is actually first choice. I just hope we've sorted our defence out this season, I'm looking at you Adam Henry and Danny Addy.

For Uaisele it’s pronounced why-see-lee I think.
Cibaman I hope you’ll find the new found enthusiasm many of us have is infectious. Can’t wait for Sunday’s game.

You can't pay on the gate it's on all ticket ground, if you do not buy in advance you need to get a ticket from the ticket office before making your way to the turn styles
Buy from the bulls or ring LSV and pay by card and collect, leigh players tweeting last night that game is heading for a sell out which would be amazing as we do not have a reputation for buying in advance at leigh
If you have any questions about parking food etc post on the leigh site and I am sure you will get a positive reply
